How would you certify the eligibility of someone being displaced? Having no direct application of my superb oats carrying and stable attendance skills, can I be compensated by the horseless carriage companies that put horse stations out of business?
A bunch of the skills displaced are so trivial (sales clerk? taxi dispatcher? a person to look up airline tickets and report back what the prices are?) that anybody can (and will) claim complete mastery of those skills and excruciating unemployment caused by your startup.
Seems like the focus should be on lowering the cost and increasing accessibility of retraining programs. When it's nearly free and available to anybody in need, motivated individuals will take care of themselves, and you just need to take care of smaller remnant group and address their specific issues.
